o shit
>>378325850
No, he is not the worst character. He simply has the highest skill ceilings of all of them. Once you get the grip of him, he become ways too fun to play and become so powerful.

I can't be mad losing to that.

I am the highest score in the room and won all my 1v1. Only lose two to three 2v2/volleyballs with shit team mates.
Still only made it to 80 points.

>>378326304
I've never seen her victory animation.
In fact, I haven't seen a lot of victory animations other than Ribbon Girl's
>>378326431
Ribboniggers literally cannot shut the fuck up.
>>378326331
Even if I don't like her you can't deny the fact that she indeed has arms
I still don't see how this is going to be worth $60. The FGC isn't going to touch it and I don't see video game clubs picking it up when Smash exists.

I LOVE this game but I think I'm done with the testpunches. Can't take any more Party Mode.

I think you do it the same way. As in, with the stick/buttons of the joycons.

Why did you do it /v/
How do I charge without guarding?
I know there is a way but i cant find it
Pic related is only a bait for you to answer because my main is Min Min
>>378327097
Hold dash or hold jump
>>378324029
I think it's because it seems "fussy" to people. The thing is, after a few test punches you start to realize that charges punches aren't something that you have to think about so much as a natural consequence of mobility. Jumping and dashing while holding the buttons should lead to having a charged punch if you don't find an opening. And if you mess around with springmans dash and jump you'll realize you can pretty much let go at the right time to trigger the deflect. I've been using it over blocks most of the time. Got 110 last test punch. I didn't see anyone else using his deflect effectively. And I'd argue I'm still not even good with it. At least not the the level of that Helix poster with perfectly timed ducks, wew lad that was impressive.
>>378324029
I have no idea how to use it thats why
>>378326578
I know this is porn, anon.
>>378326912
WAIT A SECOND...
Just hold the dash or jump button to go into charge animation, then release button to deflect. Charging whenever you can is good anyways because of elemental effects.
>>378327224
hold dash
>>378327064
>he didn't like wii sports boxing
>>378326914

>>378325773
If you haven't seen his backstory, it mentions clearly that he was created as an accident when researching ARMS in ARMS lab.
https://arms.institute/wiki/Helix
>>378326918
I've tried. It doesn't work. I also tried pointing and clicking and everything and nothing worked lol. unless im doing it wrong, but I can't tell.
>>378327391
What do elemental effects do anyways? Just extra damage? Are some fighters weak to specific effects?
>>378327573
I use motion controls, it's the same way that the picture describes. Make sure the stick is clicked in the whole time.
Also pressing up just gives you the default color.
>>378327659
They stun/paralyze/freeze/explode/etc.
>>378327602
literally d.va
>>378327573
You click the left stick and hold it as such. While the stick is still clicked you move if left, right, or down(up is default) and hit A while the clicked left stick is still pointing in the direction you want.
motion or regular?
>>378327564
>can only speak in screams and animalistic noises
>company that created you officially and publicly says you're an "accident"
>they convince the public you "love" to watch ARMS matches all day every day
>your arms become momentarily charged whenever you land
To think it would take this long for me to notice. So I am guessing sometimes it's actually better to land before punching as opposed to the other way around.
>>378327573
click the left stick in and hold it down, don't just press it
while the left stick is still held in, push the stick in a direction.
Then while the clicked stick is being held in that direction, press A.
Also pushing the stick up will just get you the default color
>>378326914
More please
Ran last noon's testpunch with my best friend who visited, and we eventually decided to stick with Master Mummy the whole time. Shit was hilarious.
Are mummy's megaton gloves the only elementless arms?
>>378327659
Fire causes knockdown. Wind is knockback. Electric disabled their arms allowing you a free throw or combo. Explosive has a blast radius that causes knockdown, you can hit walls near someone to explode them. Blind puts ink on the screen. Not really sure on stun and freeze.
Electric seems the best though.
>>378325773
>Tfw he has the mentality of a 2 years old
>>378325850
Only pro controller users would think that because they are unable to make full use of him.
>>378327746
You mean literally Ran.
>>378327810
>one of his victory poses is just fucking booking it
He doesn't want to do this.
>>378327659
Unique effects beyond damage. Electric gives a shock that paralyzes them for a moment, opening them up for grabs and shit. Wind lifts them up and if you git gud you can juggle with fast punches. Fire knocks them down, though I haven't figured out the particular advantages, and Ice slows them down for a moment. Oh also the blorb blinds people so they can't see shit for a moment.
Overal electric and wind seem the most useful, but I'm sure people will figure out what's good in why situation soon enough.
>>378327905
Ninjara's Buff too
>>378327870
>tfw this confirms only 4 alts, no wacky DLC ones like Overwatch
>>378327930
He meant literally Kirby
>>378327810
He doesn't seems to mind it, and he seems pretty happy and curious about the world outside of his tubes.
So, is the game good?
>>378327853
You can also just dash and hold the button to charge, then use it in the air or wherever you want. Mechanica can charge in the air because of hover, and charging after a dash has her move while charging because of her thrusters. Guarding charges too but is not as effect as dash or jump and does not charge Minmin's arm to dragon mode.
>>378328090
I dunno it isn't out yet.

Top: Springman
Left: Sir Patrick Stewart
Right: Hestu's Gift

I really want an electric black guy with jumper cable arms in this game.
He should be a heavy fighter because there are more fast fighters now, and his ability should make him immune to grabs when at low health.
>you now realize that springman will be in smash bros 5
>>378328082
He's like T-1000 but cute and without the Terminator part
>>378328346
?
I want to play Kobra and Byte/Barq so bad.
>>378328346
>there are still two more
There is actually only one more for this weekend. And then we have to wait a week.
http://codeborn.se/misc/testpunch/
>>378328346
Only one more today anon, no late show on sundays.
I want to play the thicc latina girl NOW
>>378327461
>>378327871
>>378326692
I feel you anon. I onky want to do 1v1s, fuck the rest
ARMS is currently GOTY. Prove me wrong
>>378328660
oh baby!
>>378328090
You're asking this on /v/. Ten demerits.
>>378328630
She's french
>>378328630
She's French.
Also, is it a possibility that she, King Kobra and B&B will replace three of this weekend's roster? If so, who'd go?and you know Springman and Ribbon Girl wouldn't. They're the poster children.
>>378328415
Guy on the bottom literally just looks like a black Cole. I rewatched Static Shock and it's still good except the ending.
>>378328791
French = Latin language
French people = European Latinas
So a french girl is a latina to me
I wish I wasn't at work so I could go play this.
>>378328819
Mechanica, Minmin, and Helix
>>378328819
hopefully mechanica mummy and minminI don't want my green boy to go

They could allow you to switch out certain skins and insert your own, like how they have sprays in overwatch.

Someone post that webm of Helix dodging every attack.
>>378329452
that's the title of the book
So we have given up on calling him DNA man then
>>378329475
>>378329509
Whoop whoop
>>378329623
Do what you like, there is no "we".
>>378329623
I've just been calling him goo man or jello boy or other retarded names
>>378329679
Wish I had more than an hour to practise with this guy, he's clearly the high-skill-ceiling character.
So I tried this game yesterday and tried every characters.
Is just me just me or ribbon girl is fucking broken?

>>378329679
Whoa, how
Name better alts than Black Canary Girl and Aryan Springman
>>378330053
I played Minmin. I like Ribbon Girl, but I still liked and performed better with Minmin. That dragon arm and those kicks are not to be underestimated.
But really. Most characters have quite fearsome gimmicks. Like Mechanica who has super armour frames and can charge her arms while moving.
>>378330198

I hope we get MinMin and Helix alongside Spring
>>378331893

>>378332039
>>378332076
Helix and Min Min are the best choices outside Springaling
ONE HOUR TIL THE FINAL TESTPUNCH OF THIS WEEK
Can you even communicate with a random on arms? Besides basic emotes.
>>378332315
That image will only ever be used be false-flaggers.
>>378328342
If they were to let you pop just about any amiibo to change your colour scheme accordingly, kind of like they did for Woolly World. I would absolutely love it.
I'd pop my orange Inkling Girl on everyone
it figures that the only people I see drawing the ninja are nips
>>378332517
Just like every variation of it then
>Still no ARMS amiibo
IT'S LITERALLY THE ONLY TIME I'VE ACTUALLY WANTED THOSE DAMN MCDONALDS TOYS.
I WANT MY MINMIN FIGURE. WHERE IS IT NINTENDO?
Doesn't it start now? Why can't I get in?
Only one hour until the final session for this week.
I am pumped up and excited. But it's kind of bitter sweet at the same time. I'll miss the game.

This triggers the ramen.

dash forward into incoming punches. You can also use it when ARMS are disabled to protect yourself
i must say, there's some really cute art for the boys too
>>378333313
Hey, man, I play Ribbom Gril too, you don't have to tell me. I was just letting the man know how his waifu worked.SO did they just ditch the black and blue color setup?

I think this time I'm going to dump ribbon girl and mix things up. Last chance for fun for almost a week.

I really loved Volleyball though, but I want to try out Hoops.
Is Ninjara the tryhard character?

No, that's Ribbom
>>378334239
its your last chance to play for about a week. You want to give in or stick with it for another hour ad a half?
Helix is so much fun to play as god damn
>>378333716

Couldn't partake this one due to work and sleep fucking it up

In this case, it's onomatopoeia for spanking.
>>378334670
Don't mean to be a downer but I think he'll take more than a few hours to really understand.
Enjoy yourself with the more entry-level fighters (i.e. everyone else), and then pick up Helix when the game comes out.

If you don't get 100 in this testpunch you need to leave
>>378335257
That strategy is fine and dandy unless you're the one who's alone. Especially if you're facing two of the same character, for whatever reason people tend to team up with their clone. Maybe they want a 1v1? I dunno.
The uneven spawn locations on the stairs makes it total shit for FFA.

I've been getting 95+ in every testpunch with Ribbon.
This time I just want to mess around with the other characters.

>>378335608
I can't, 4vs4 just fucking suck
>>378335797

When's the next test?
>>378335943
20 minutes
>>378335608
it really doesnt matter yo
>>378335896
4v4 would be a cluster fuck.
sounds fun.
>>378335943

>>378335972
Thanks, between overwatch and messing with my vita TV, I keep missing the tests.
>>378335979

What would Spring Man's down-B special move be?
I can imagine the Toaster, Boomerang and Tribolt being easily reworked as middle-B, up-B (cyclone=recovery) and side-B.
Maybe a shield or dragon type glove could work if there was one closely tied to him in the full game, or if not a glove then maybe he could summon one of those giant bombs and throw it.
>>378336546

>>378336546

Duh
>>378335116

It's time.

First time playing and I really don't like the gyro controls for movement.
Why the fuck are my joycons out of battery, this is the first time ever that I've used them out of the system itself.
This game has really grown on me. Finding that theres a fair bit of strategy
Dual ramrams or ramram+megawatt?
>all the twitch streamers are trash
I just want to see some decent gameplay
>2v2 against double min mins
>Both land grabs on us at the same time, throwing our team from 2 different times,
I have never seen anything more anime. I was too shocked to even screenshot.
Best arms for Springman for close quarter beat downs?
It's fun but I wont buy it day 1
There's no real skill required in this game other than a grab meaty
And its especially not worth $60
2 vs 2 is impossible when your partner sucks dick
>>378327573
Press the left stick, while pressing it hold a direction. Then press L while still holding it, that's it.
Fucking JAPS and their lag
>>378338543
That's what people said about Tekken and Street Fighter. You're missing out big time.
>>378338386
dual ram ram
megawatt + ram ram if 1v1 mummy or mechanica though
>>378338618
so every game
daily reminder that ninjara mains deserve to be bullied
>>378338754
>thats what people said about Tekken or Street Fighter
Are you retarded?
Tekken is one of the hardest games to actually play and that's entirely because of the movement and combo system
Aside from SFV, most SF games requires a 1 frame combo do even be ok at the game
people playing co op online sucks dick. If the two people are in seperate matches they lag the fuck out and start teleporting around. Either that or all the people I have fought that are playing Co Op have bad connection
>>378338438
>different times

>>378338618
This. Holy shit my teammates suck so hard. Always just fucking useless
A communication error has occurred.
Haven't been in any Arms threads because of work and still can't find a switch so I can't play yet. What did I miss? Did the game turn out shit? Is it good? You guys like it? Who are the arbitrarily chosen top characters?

>>378339203
>>378339117
So I guess people don't like it?
how the fuck are people changing colours with the motion control setup
Why do people always gang up on me in 1vs1vs1? It's literally no fun
>get into a 1v1 with a ninjara
>tele and throws
>sometimes throws punches but thats because I know he messes up the throw inputs
Just like Splatoon all the japs are autistic tryhards.
How do you avoid grabs? Also why are all these people so good?
>>378339445
The strat is to put somebody in the middle then fuck them
1v1v1v1
Is this a new mode?
any v approved streamers currently streaming the game?
>>378339445
who are you playing as?
>>378339549
Mechanica
I guess it's because smaller characters will fight the big guys first
>mfw fighting an actual good mummy player
Holy hell man people are learning fast
>>378339346
It's alright
It's a fun casual game but I don't think it'll lift off.
Each character isn't really unique, they all play the same, just faster or slower
The arms are alright but it seems like having a fast arm and a ranged arm seems to be the go to for every match
Grabs is also really bad since playing so close quarters is such a clusterfuck you want to be far away
>>378330631
Holy fuck
>>378339445
Because you're either Ninjara or Master Memey
>>378330728
Nintendo Lag. Every single online game they've ever released has suffered from it.
>>378339203
>>game is fun but the 3 weapons you get for each character gets boring quickly
In the full game you can swap arms. This is a demo
>>no possible way for local play online (or from my experience, me and a lad tried on both hours to play and never got to play with each other)
Local means you are in the same room, and you can do that if you click the two player option from the start of the demo. Also this is a demo and that functionality will obviously be in the full game. The Testfires for Splatoon didnt have those either but the full game did as it's a basic feature for an online game
>>378339727
So you're saying it's too easy and has no real depth, right? I just wanna make sure I get your post
The DNA man just pumped 375 damage into me
still won though
How the fuck can I cause that much damage? Is it simply a charged attack?
>>378339713
I only played the first test punch and this one, it's like suddenly everyone got crazy good
>Charging up the volleyball for a spike
what the fuck how do I do that and how do I even stop it
Why do I keep getting dc'd?
2v2 is fun but it feels like there's almost no skill involved. just who can throw out punches fastest
>Sitting in the cut while mirror matches happen
>Dodge out the way of everything when the winner comes
Heh.
>>378339946
use throw on the volleyball to set up a spike

This is a pretty mediocre representation
>>378339727
>Each character isn't really unique, they all play the same, just faster or slower
Not true at all.
>>378340165
she's the best
>>378340164
press and hold left stick while pressing a direction, then select.
C U T E !
>>378340192
acutally no its just a serer stress test.
>>378340164
Push in the left stick in any direction (Up down left right) then press A
>>378336739
holy shit MORE
>>378339540
No it's a shit mode just like 2v1.
>>378339987
Yeah, it kinda sucks to be honest. If your teammate sucks it's really boring, and if everyone is good it's still mediocre
>>378340351
>1 hour at inconvenient times is a stress test

What went wrong bros
I really am missing something, this is my first testpunch. For some reason my fighter just doesnt move if I am using the normal joycons in hands style controlling, no matter how I twist and turn myself or the cons.
How do you build special in this game?

Well I just felt the lag for the first time
Fucking ribbon girl that didn't get hit or grabbed at all. I quit, played too much of that anyway
>>378340917
Only fags don't want to fug Spring man.
>>378340638
You can actually look for yourself in the "help" section of the Testpunch. It tells you a lot of good info about the characters and the game in general.
>grabs you
fix this fuckin mechanic. you can get chain grabbed by ninja fags all match

So it's 100% confirmed Springaling and Ribbonissima will make the Smash roster right?
>>378341271
i bet you think ryu, ken and akuma are identical too
>>378341061
Not really no, I'm pointing them upwards like in every info screen.
>>378340225
Both of you are kinda right
There are clear differences between characters, but the variety these leads to is much less than say between Guile and Zangief
master mummy is actually fucking op i swear you guys need to try him
I haven't tried double heavy ball shit but after trying the two non-heavy balls on one arm they seem pretty ass.
DOUBLE HEAVY BALL ALL THE WAY
>>378340998
>>no actual way to tech grabs
You tech grabs by grabbing, like litereally any other fighting game.
>>no way to cancel arm throws, you have to commit and stand for 5 seconds be because you had a bad read
Again, just like any other fighting game.
>>378340638
>Springman
When his health is at 25% or lower, his arms stay charged
Can deflect punches
>Ribbon Girl
Can jump 4 times and fast drop
>Ninjara
Can disappear completly when dodging either in the air otro the ground
>Master Mummy
Doesn't take knockback
Can heal himself while guarding
>Mechanica
Also doesn't take knockback
Can hover in the air
>Min Min
When you get the dragon arm, the left arm stays charged
Can kick incoming punches
>Helix
Can stretch his entire body by holding the jump button or stay low ground with the dash button
And those are only the Testpunch characters
>>378341352
no, as in, you're holding them where your thumbs are on the l and r buttons
Double dragon min min confirmed for pure cancer
>>378341271

>>378341340
>comparing 3 shotos with different normals to characters who move faster or jump higher

>>378341501
Bait them with shield, jump and punish.
>>378341435
Oh fuck now I get it. Thanks for pointing out, I feel like a retard for not seeing the difference.
>>378341474
Min MIns alone are the most cancerous players in the game. I'd take a lobby of Ninjaras before them.
>>378341501
evade, punch
>>378329679
Did they hire Daigo to play Helix in the trailer?
>>378341501
DODGE
What's the consensus?
>>378341581
that happened to me too, don't worry. i felt like a fucking idiot

Literally can't hit the slants due to lag. Nothing I could do, wooooooooow
>>378341613
>>378341639
>>378341572
but i'm mummy. i'm a big target
>>378341425
They also all have different movement speed, jump speed and health bars I believe
maybe dash speed too but I'm not sure about that one
>>378341501
move
>>378341501
Punch thru them?
>Try controller
>Easy mode
holy shit this isn't even funny
What's the best controller set up for this game. Motion controls feel really clunky
Is the connection fucked for anyone else?
>>378341695
Mummy definitely has a worse dash than the normal sized characters
And I think Helix's doesn't go as far but he can duck under shit with it
>>378341680
It's decent, but not as good as Splatoon.
Fun party game and semi-decent for tourney play.
>>378341491
I hope they don't suffer his fate
>Classic ip starring a boxer
>Doesn't make it into a fighting game until the 4th entry
Mac had a rough life
>>378341691
fellow mummy, just jump then smash them with your huge balls
>>378341691
Did you just say "punch" is not a viable option against grabs?
JUST FUCKING PUNCH! KEEP A FIST AT THE READY AND PUNCH THE GRAB!
>>378341691for me?
>>378341517
ryu ken and akuma move pretty differently famalam
>>378341791
he has an awful fuckin dash. his healing mechanic is wack i noticed. doesn't heal much and grabs are strong as fuck
>>378341785
just you
>>378341695
And different grab speed I think. correct me if I'm wrong
>>378341691
Get a revolver and punch between the both arms, that way you cancel the grab fast
>>378341680
It's a good game, just not a good serious competitive game and how much longevity you'll get out of it will vary greatly
A solid exclusive, but not he new splatoon like people were hyping.
>>378341791
Kid Cobra is apparently super slow dashing, but fast when jumping
>>378341680
He is the epitome of cute and hotness in the Nintendo hemisphere.
>>378341870
At least if this is anything like Splatoon and Sm4sh the devs will probably attempt to balance shit a bit
>1 vs 1 vs 1
>Spend the entire match dodging shit not being able to attak
>keep ending up with ribbon girls in team matches that pull you around
>keep ending up in supers that I would have dodged
Fuck ribbon girl players
So will motion or controller be used in top tier play?
>>378341834
kek
>>378341832
i'm doin motion controls so i feel like a huge sperg flailing my arms everywhere. so i cant reliably hit their arms
>>378341930
i like those arms. i usually use that and the big ass ball
>>378341926
Also Mummy's grab does more damage than the rest
>>378341816
they won't. he didn't make it because they had plenty of nintendo characters to put in before him. Arms characters are prime for Mario Kart/Smash DLC
Helix's special move is fucking crazy, all that damage
twintelle is hot
VOLLEYBALL MODE IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!!! WHAT THE FUCL, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>378341958
Doesn't he dash fast when his arms are already charged? Or is it just that his dash gets iframes or something.
>>378342004
it doesn't seem like you can move and curve punches at the same time with controller
>1v1v1
>Other two people target you the whole time and literally never switch

But usually if you hit the ball first = you win. Most people can't get it back up to the other zone zone.
BOIOIOING YEAH

o-oh
>>378342559
Noticing this too. 1v1v1 matches especially
>>378342628
Good basic strat is let them hit it first, serve, then spike
>>378330631
Not as good as the guy in the video, but I've pulled off some of those moves. If you're playing Helix there's really no excuse to get grabbed by your opponent. Simply duck with Y then pop up with X immediately after with a counter to make them pay. Those who say Helix is the worst character are just shit players who don't recognize his depth.
>when my fuck huge ball arm whiffs
ok not sure if lag or what senpai
>>378342648
>MFW 2v2
>Either my partner continuously gets grabbed and flings me around or they outright disconnect
I got close once to beating a 1v2 but I had no rush and was at a sliver of HP
What is the best way to hit people double jumping in air? I can never seem to curve my punches high enough. Can I do it from the ground, or should I be jumping?
>>378342648
Bruh, no one wants to play volley
WHY CANT I HIT SHIT WITH THE JELLY FISTS
HOW ARE THEY HELIX'S WORST FUCKIN WEAPON
>>378341680
Might just skip it. I've been having connection issues since MK8D and this game is no different . I probably won't pay for online unless Splatoon is stable.
I never had any problems with the WiiU connectivity so I don't know what the deal with the switch is.
>>378342804
tell them to fix their fucking game quick
>server maintenence will begin
>>378342804
Just wait till they land or jump after them
Any amount of lag makes the game literally unplayable. The person with the garbage connection is literally invincible. Every punch will go straight through them.
What score did you get? 96 here but people are getting a lot better

Impossible to hit them. They'll just be standing still on your screen, all your punches whiffing, and then suddenly they're actually three bodies to the left in midair grabbing you.

It's alright. I'd compare it to KIU, it's good enough to hit the ground running and have a following, but will have a painful death when the next big thing hits. With Splatoon just a month later it's going to hurt. Like KIU I'm sure it will have player base online for years to come to some degree.
Definitely one of those games that if you want to get it for online play get it now instead of waiting so there are plenty of people to play against. If online play isn't of concern then the game isn't an immediate buy as story mode and AI fighting is always going to be a thing.
1v1v1
Me agains 2 ribbon girls
defeat the alt color rib girl
just act friendly towards the other one untill she defeats me
I cant bring myself to hurt her
I really hate anything other than 1v1.
Well this was fun lads, see you next week!
I thought the motion controls were fine but as people got better I just stagnated because I keep MOVING my arms left/right to aim the punches rather than turning my wrists.
It makes no sense and I don't know if I can get used to it. I'll try normal controls next week but I hate the input for block.
Ended the test punch with 105 coins
What did you guys end with?
Unpopular opinion but I think I like ARMS way more than Splatoon

Yeah this happens to me too.I will physically move my arms up then punch and before I know it my hands are above my head.

i felt that way at first, but the chaos of 3v3 and 4v4 grew on me, volleyball is still boring though
>when you are practicing it can appear golden target that give you point
FUCK YOU NIGGAS YOU NEVER FUCKING TOLD ME
Today's play session was pretty bad. I was able to get in the high 80's in the first two I did. Today my punches were going through people and I was getting punished in several matches in a row, not to mention how crappy volleyball is. I stopped playing around 60.

>3v3 and 4v4
What
My switch can't connect to my router for some reason while every other device I have has no problems. Got it at launch and I've successfully got it to connect 2 times and it seemed completely random when it did finally connect.
Anybody else have this issue and know whats up? I'd really like to try out ARMS.
>anytime I have a perfect it's against a Spring Man
I feel sorry for Spring Man.
>facing ribbon girl in the standard area
>does nothing but jump and grab the whole match
That was fun guys see you next week

>i can't into timing
Eat shit, faggot
It's over. What a wild ride.
>>378344279
free for alls
>>378344378
The jumping is a sign of terror and confusion.
The grabs are to hold you close.

I like it but I'm really curious what critics think about it right now, if they're going to praise the single player or what they'll think about vball. Personally I can't stand it so I can see them docking points for it.
